Really excited to see this one. Captivating from the start with strong acting, especially from Valter Skarsgård & Alva Bratt.

Unfortunately, Elite is a riot of Spanishness with glamorous frocks for the girls and snazzy clothes for the guys. This series, being Swedish, is far more restrained and it misses out for that.

Yes, we have intermingling stories, as in Elite, of poor kids and rich kids but they aren't at the same school, but in different schools across the river from each other. There's a murder too and the same closing of ranks with the poor kids getting blamed.

The storylines are as absurd and holes in the plot as enormous as those in the Spanish series. This was less fun though.

Season Two is coming everyone! This first season ended on a cliffhanger.

Nothing really happened and there was alot of stuff that never really added up even after they wrapped up the season. A pretty shallow story with no real depth to it. I will not watch season two. Wrong kind of actors for various types of roles as well.

Not a perfect production but I really enjoyed it. Acting for the most part very good. Underlying themes of trusting your own judgement and not letting yourself be bludgeoned into anything were my bonus take and also the locations were intriguing. Don't compare this with more professional US or UK series though. It's its own thing!

The directing is terrible, with shaky camera, and childish movements. The lighting are also disastrous and dark.

There is a very annoying PC theme straight through everything. The moral message are pressed down the viewers throats in almost every scene. The activist teacher are just boring and there's not one character to like or root for. Waste of time.
